Would you please post the build number of your 10.5.1 that came on the machine?

To find the build #, go to Apple Menu --> About this Mac --> More Info button. It will bring up System Profiler in a window.

Select "Software" way down on the left. Info will show up at the right. You'll see the build # on the right, to the right-side of "10.5.1".

On my MacBook Pro, the build # is 9B18, which is the original 10.5.1 build.

I want to know if the Mac Pro has the same build #, or requires a more recent one. (Why? I want to know if I can do a straight clone of my laptop's hard drive when my Mac Pro arrives, as this is a lot faster than using migration assistant or installing everything from scratch).

He's lying. No way a dual 3GHz could get anywhere near that.. or even half of that. I would think his shading score would be higher with his 8800 also.

Its faaakkkeeee! you'd be hard pushed to score even 10,000 on the multiple render even with a 5GHZ Core 2

however the next version of cinebench might be about to be released as Cinema 4d has just been updated to R11 - and one thing it boasts is over 2x the rendering speed - so if the benchmark scene and scoring method stays the same, those might be the actual benchmarks of the new cinebench.

I don't know why it doesn't list the OC speed, but it's at 4.2Ghz. Using a Dark Knight cooler, crucial mem. Total build cost roughly $750. I can only wonder what one with dual physical would get. Probably 45,000? and cost about $1150. But this is fine for me. Also 100% rock solid/stable. Intel is just awesome.
